Calculation of the First-Order Derivative of the Narushin-Romanov-Griffin Equation

Description

DNRGE is used to calculate the first-order derivative of the Narushin-Romanov-Griffin equation at a given x-value.

Usage

DNRGE(P, x)

Arguments

P	the parameters of the Narushin-Romanov-Griffin equation.
x	the x-value used in the Narushin-Romanov-Griffin equation.

Details

Let us define:

f_{1}(x) = \frac{B}{2}\sqrt{\frac{A^2-4x^2}{A^2+8Cx+4C^2}},

f_{2}(x) = \sqrt{\frac{A\left(A^{2}+8Cx+4C^{2}\right)}{2(A-2C)x^{2}+\left(A^{2}+8AC-4C^{2}\right)x+2AC^{2}+A^{2}C+A^{3}}},

f_{3}(x) = A^2 - 4x,

f_{4}(x) = A^2+8Cx+4C^2,

E = \frac{\sqrt{5.5A^{2}+11AC+4C^{2}} \cdot \left(\sqrt{3}AB-2D\sqrt{A^{2}+2AC+4C^{2 }}\right)}{\sqrt{3}AB\left(\sqrt{5.5A^{2}+11AC+4C^{2}}-2\sqrt{A^{2}+2AC+4C^{2}}\right)},

F = 2\left(A-2C\right),

G = A^{2}+8AC-4C^{2},

H = 2AC^{2}+A^{2}C+A^{3},

and then the first-order derivative of the Narushin-Romanov-Griffin equation at a given x-value is:

J(x) = -\frac{4\,f_{1}(x)\left[C\,f_{3}(x)+x\,f_{4}(x)\right]}{f_{3}(x) \cdot f_{4}(x)}\left\{1-E \cdot \left[1-f_{2}(x)\right]\right\}-\frac{AE}{2}\frac{f_{1}(x)}{f_{2}(x)}\frac{f_{4}(x) \cdot \left(2Fx+G\right)}{\left(Fx^2+Gx+H\right)^2},

where P has four parameters: A, B, C, and D.

Note

The argument P in the DNRGE function has the same parameters, as those in the NRGE function.
